Free Republic is funded solely by donations contributed by the people who love and use it. We are beholden to no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no corporate or government string pullers. It's just you and me, baby, grassroots conservatives against the Marxists and big government statists and RINOs!!

Please keep those donations coming in to keep FR alive and on the air. We're going to need FR now more than ever. Make it a monthly if you can. We have some very generous FReeper sponsors kicking in an extra $10 for each new monthly that signs up. This gives you an opportunity to get a little more bang for your buck!!

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:14

Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them. - Continental Congress Declaration, 1775

Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. -Winston Churchill

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson

To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be over thrown, our present republican forms of government, and all blessings which flow form them must fall with them Jedediah Morse (1761-1826) Patriot & Father of American Geography

"In my humble opinion, those who come to engage in debates of consequence, and who challenge accepted wisdom, should expect to be treated badly. Nonetheless, they must stand undaunted. That is required. And, that should be expected.
